Hi everyone! I have the pleasure of being the Hostess this week at Digital Delights. I want to show you my take on a calendar that I saw on my team mates site - Rubber Stamping is my Game. I made it for my husband so it does not have much bling!

This calendar works for the whole year and comes with a

variety of images, days and months.

I started with the basic elements of a side step card.

I cut slits in the Spellbinder die cuts so that the images and the months would slip into the slots.

I printed and colored all the images and used Distress Tea Dye to color the edges of the images, days and months.

I used jewelers "O" rings to hold the days in place.

They can be flipped over for each new day.

I used some of my favorite Digital Delights images for this calendar project:

This was a simple card to make. I just printed out Flower Power Daisy and the sentiment. The coloring was easy and then I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image shape. I left the paper in the die and used Distress ink on a sponge to add color around the image, and this technique also leaves a white edge as a frame.

Be sure and take a look at what the wonderful Design Team has come up with for your inspiration. And then hop over to the Delightful Challenges site and check out this weeks challenge.Have a Great Day!

My card this week is for my sweetie on Valentines. I used a Robyn's Fetish image and tried to use more masculine colors. He knows that I am in to lace and ribbon so he won't mind my embellishments.

I wanted lots of dimension so I embossed a piece of light teal card stock and then lightly brushed my sponge over it with Distress Fired brick. Then I layered it up with a new Spellbinders die postage frame and Fleur de Lis.

This week at Craft a Scene the challenge is to let our light shine with a creation that contains a lighthouse. We also need to tell everyone how our project is shining our light.My project this week is a bookmark for my daughter-in-law. Her birthday just passed and this is for her to mark her spot in her reading.

I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Momento black ink. I used Ranger Distress markers to lightly color the main areas and then used my paintbrush and water to smooth out the color.
